Dan Mullen: 3

Mullen can basically do no wrong in Starkville. The Bulldogs only went 6-7 last year, but the expectations are not the same there as they are at most SEC schools.

He’s 62-42 in his eight years at Mississippi State and he’ll probably leave for greener pastures before Mississippi State ever dreams of firing him.
